Not All Terrorists Carry Guns, But The Deaths From Osborne’s Cuts Will Be Just As Real

It is hard to conceive how a Chancellor can look at people surviving on just a few pounds a day and decide it is them who must have their incomes cut to pay for a financial crisis caused by the rich. What kind of fucking human being would do that?

These are people who may be struggling with a serious health condition, newly unemployed steel workers, the precariously self-employed or those on the lowest pay. These are to be the likely victims of the latest round of economic terrorism that George Osborne is set to inflict in Wednesday’s Autumn Statement.

Be in no doubt, this is terrorism. Millions of people are now living in a state of stark and permanent panic as reckless Tory cuts strike randomly, demolishing lives, putting homes at risk, endangering health and tragically driving some to suicide. The callous assessments for disability benefits alone have led to 590 people taking their own lives researchers recently revealed in a report that should have brought this Government down. Yet it was greeted with little more than a murmour. The UK establishment, in all its guises, cares no more about the lives of the poor than the Isis death cultists cared about those they mercilessly gunned down in Paris last week. A welfare state that destroys lives whilst masquerading as a safety net is the perfect weapon of class warfare. The victims kill themselves, or disappear without trace under the burden of desperate poverty.

Such is the carefully constructed poverty trap that there is now almost no chance of escape. There are just under 2 million people in the UK who are unemployed, and a further two million who don’t have a job and want one but do not meet the strict criteria of official unemployment. Add to that a couple of million sick and disabled people or lone parents who are now being ordered to endlessly search for jobs. There are just 740,000 vacancies according to the Office for National Statistics. If every one of those was filled tomorrow there would still be millions looking for work.

Not that finding a job will help the poorest as housing costs soar and in-work benefits are demolished. Only if you can climb to the ranks of the so-called squeezed middle will you perhaps be able to grab some quality of existence, and even if you get there you’d better not get sick, become disabled or lose your job. And you won’t ever get there. Try walking into a Jobcentre and saying you’d like to re-train as a plumber or take an IT course that will actually get you a job rather than just teach you how to turn on a fucking computer. When they’ve stopped laughing they will point you in the direction of a private training company, who want thousands of pounds, and for which there are no students loans available. Even then, if you manage to raise the money, the Jobcentre may order you to leave to attend full time workfare instead.

Those who have had benefits sanctioned for missing a meeting, or failing to attend workfare, now survive on around £41 a week – and only then if they qualify for Hardship Payments. Those under 25 who are looking for work will fare little better with a weekly income barely over £50 whilst the older unemployed receive just £73.10. Some of these claimants will be paying the Bedroom Tax, as well as Council Tax out of that sum. Others will be frantically trying to make up rent payments to cover Housing Benefit shortfalls as private rents soar and benefits intended to pay them are capped and frozen.

Any further cuts to Housing Benefits will be devastating and could plunge some into a negative income as unavoidable costs like rent, water and Council Tax leave them with no money at all, just a steadily increasing debt. This will include the working poor who have little more to live on than those on the dole, making a mockery of Iain Duncan Smith’s claims that his reforms are making work pay. Whether Osborne cuts Tax Credits, Housing Benefits, or child benefits this week will make little difference to those affected. Their lives are earmarked for economic destruction however the Chancellor chooses to cut.

In the face of such an onslaught we have no choice but to fight back. There is no slack in the social security system left at all – in fact there never was any to begin with. Street homelessnes is already at record levels and the full impact of the last round of cuts has not yet been truly felt. Gideon Osborne is playing a dangerous game that could leave millions with nothing left to lose and no futures to plan for. The rich may sleep comfortably in their mansions tonight. But there will be consequences, there must be, because one death was too many and we cannot allow this to continue.

As ever Class War are taking te fight direct to the pampered elite calling for a picket of George Osborne’s family business to coincide with his speech on Wednesday. Meet outside Osborne & Little, 204 King’s Road, Chelsea, SW3 from 12-2pm on Wednesday 25th November. Spread the word.

Apologies for the extended absence. Back to normal now hopefully.

i notice that you haven’t yet responded to my last post to you….
‘Netherless if it were Not for All the Brainwashed Zombies and their
Materialistic instead of Moralist Outlook there would be Millions of
Signatures….’ if that were the case we wouldn’t have a tory red/blue govt…??

why do you ask….? i voted snp but what does that matter…..if we had a decent culture we’d vote in entirely different ways than we do now….we don’t, our culture is toxic…screaming @ people to be decent changes nothing….

spot on jv…
basically they’re piling debt onto the income deprived and sucking our local economies dry, and shoving the profits from selling our jobs off etc into their bank a/c’s and other ‘investments’ leaving us with no-thing….in an economic desert, with not an oasis in sight…

Look Johnny, the biggest problem our underclass face, and I’m one of the underclass – is that we, by and large are apathetic. We don’t really care about our neighbours. All that the majority of us care about is ourselves, and ourselves alone. This is one of the biggest successes of Lady Thatcher, in essence she destroyed the concept of “society”. As individuals, we collectively became as insular as our little green and sceptered isle. As a nation we have a Little Islander mentality, unlike, for example, The French. The French band together and kick off about anything. We don’t. And therein lies the seeds of our downfall.
What people need to remember is that there IS power in numbers. People need to shed the solitary woe is me, attitude, and start banding together for change.
An example would be a mass shoplifting day. 20,000 people who have been sanctioned, meet up and go on a shoplifting protest, expropriating what goods they need in order to survive. How would that be stopped? There are no prison places left, it would happen in one area, and thus the court system would be brought to a grinding halt, and most importantly, it would garner massive publicity. I’m not saying that this should happen, it’s just a hypothesis, but what could they do if it did happen?
Think about it People…

PS the French would not shoplift they refuse to buy collectively until prices of goods come down to levels that match the lowest incomes, which again would still make the rich better off.
We either have fair incomes for all whether in or out of work (by fair I mean everyone on the same income) or a world with no currency.

I have been to France and do not particularly wish to go back there other than a holiday, but I do like their mentality. I don’t think you would fit in with their collectivism obd unless you were going to benefit from it personally.

we all do things for personal benefit, which i why i promote perma-culture et al…
i love france and have been many times, they love camping as do i….so please don’t presume to tell me about the french way of life….

it’s hardly a presumption on my part as you’ve been banging on about being french for several posts now….we’re not in france and we don’t have their social history…but your being retaliatory does sum you up nicely…

As you yourself said it is nice to retaliate once in a while, but talking about how the French deal with their politics is hardly dreaming or fantasizing nor considering the grass to be greener anywhere.

obd, camping in Carnac during tremendous thunderstorms, amidst the dolmens. Locals happy if you make even the most rudimentary attempts to speak their language, sharing food, sharing wisdom and spare parts for our bust little van, in exchange for a little work stacking bales. They didn’t ask, we offered. Bliss.

Try camping near ancient sites in the UK and our soon to be privatised police will be bundling you into a cell, in cuffs within 30 minutes.

Always found the people of France to be tolerant and welcoming. Sociable. Values that have been washed down the drain, in the UK.

Pity, ‘cos a lot of us will be relying on a place to pitch a tent in the coming months.

Like all peoples, you get the best out of them when you engage kindly.

lucy
you’ve been, wow wonderful!
buckets of food literally collected in big pots @ the camp sites, + la pain…
carnac, yep took many generations of ancients to work out where to even position the stones….what a lovely place, i’ve been all over britanny normandie, loire, paris basin, camping…
thunder storms are a feature of the area as are the miles of sandy beaches, wonderful place to take my kids, they loved it….

May I remind the two reminiscing moggies(or should that be froggies) that we are not in France – a point OBD went out of his way to make to me, but hey double standards is his style, but he will not get away with it.

You mean the French whose elites currently have their workers under de facto martial law? A total ban on assembling, protesting, bosses are encouraged to report “radicalised” workers, no mention of Islam. All civil liberties and “freedums” destroyed in one foul swoop. A trail run for the future dystopian society, when the elites will stop at nothing, not even genocide to protect their wealth. We are already there, digging our own graves daily, building this nightmare future one brick at a time. The weight and tyranny of the masses will ensure dissent remains isolated, fractured. It is too late. We are conquered.

Oh deer what can the matter be? With your defeatist attitude we will get nowhere fast, so stop your digging and building, show IDS who is boss and refuse to do workfare, bombard the job centres and make your demands of the people only idiots voted into power.

But if you are not “willing to participate*” in workfare you will be sanctioned for up to 156 weeks (3 years). We are not all millionaires, fly. Not all of us are independently wealth, and some of us do need money to survive. Peeps can talk all they want about refusing this, refusing that, but when push comes to shove it is you the individual who will suffer. You have to recognise when you are over a barrel. To fuck with martyrdom, fly!

The thing about workfare is that it COSTS the jobseeker to undertake workfare. You don’t get one cent extra for meals extra, and since it is invariably hard manual labour you will have the appetite of a horse. You can easily spend another £5-6 a day on food which is ~ equal to the amount you would be sanctioned. JSA is intended is an allowance for jobseeking – it was never intended to provide the calories/protein/sustenance to undertake actual work never mind hard manual labour.

its not the peasants that lost the monies but the fraudulent banksters
yet the poor get to pay back whot was lost through greed austerity wasnt for the torys but was for the poor so a plan inplace rtu ids been accross to those famous gates and using the aktion t4 plan carries this out through benefit denial while telling all hes getting em back to work yes those that do stacking shelves for those charity pimps jeff3

” The UK establishment, in all its guises, cares no more about the lives of the poor than the Isis death cultists cared about those they mercilessly gunned down in Paris last week.”

they could be one and the same, don’t forget the West sponsors ISIS/ AlQueda/, trains them in the USA and at home, arms Saudi Arabia and is thoroughly in hock to Israel – there are emerging alternatives to Paris than the one imperialist view espoused by the media propagandists

What Osborne is doing is terrorism, murder and criminal and even the UN don’t seem that bothered

How correct you are Jeremy, but you do know that you will be called a conspiracy theorist.

As night follows day, wars follow economic downturns, usually agitated by the west on foreign soil.
Good days for the armaments industry though, according to George Osborne who can find the money to order 36 fighter/drone planes so that they can join in the game of thrones with Europe over Syria.

those planes will only materialise in 10 years though – it’s called ‘Selfservative economics’ – maybe the ‘terrorists’ are closer to home than you think and have enough capital to play the long game – let’s hope the planet can last that long.

What Needs to be Addressed is the Menace of the Rightists of the
Parliamentary Labour Party who are Grotesquely Out of Touch
and seem Not to Care about the Plight of the Poor and Vulnerable
as they are in the Westminster Ivory Tower ( Britain’s ” Democratic ”
Parliament where the Public are barely ever Consulted ) .

They are Denying Democratic Accountability which the Official Opposition
Need’s to be so the British Government is Not a Dictatorship Regime
and also the Prospect of the United Kingdom having in Office a Government
that Cares about Public Services Social Justice Helping the Poor and
Vulnerable with a Welfare State and Opposing Slave Labour Exploitation

Demonstrations should be Held Not only to End Austerity and Defend the
Welfare State but to Demand that Rightists in the Parliamentary
Labour Party either Serve the Country by Opposing Destructive Austerity
or Resign so By Elections can be Held and MPS Elected who Support
Social Justice and a Caring Society

Roger
Indeed a Evil Legacy of Thatcherism is Selfish Individualism which
is anything but Genuinely Patriotic.

All For One and One For All instead of ” Every Man for Himself ”

The Little Islander Mentality is Destructive .

However instead of a mass shoplifting day which would very likely get
already poor people into further Trouble what would be Better is Mass
Demonstrations in Town Centres and perhaps Constituency Offices
( Peaceful of Course ) to Say No Austerity and No Oppression

Think about it People…

Oh Flyhawks, you dull and unimaginative little plodder, you just don’t get it do you? I’m not encouraging theft for the sake of theft, no, I’m creating an incident that would have to be addressed. People of your ilk would never understand that, Flyhawks; maybe in your case, Dodo or Cuckoo would be a more appropriate nomme de guerre…
If you’re married, It doesn’t take much imagination to imagine how boring the bonking would be. You poor dumb sap.

sib
she’s a typical tory red/blue politician always pointing away/elsewhere to the solution and/or problems…procrastination….
abused people shouldn’t post, only adults should post, all defy definition…
others should be seen and not heard…
she implies; ‘i’m boss, i know best, do as you are told’ …. or ‘stfu!, this is my blog and i’ll do and say what i like….’
her idea of protest, as i remember, is to sit down in dwp office and throw a tantrum, and blaming everyone else for not supporting her noble cause….

I am the only person on here who has been inventive in my fight against the powers that be and acted them out, but thieving was not part of my strategy because that would make me worse than those that are thieving from the poorest.
If you Sib and OBD want to go on a thieving spree around the shops be my guest.

OBD if this was my blogg you wouldn’t be on it, as for throwing a tantrum, I refused to speak to the scum that were working there at the time, the only people that throw tantrums on here are you and your cronies.
I did plenty beside that too which jv touched upon, but of course you are only interested in what you post.

Flyhawks, you poor stupid man you. Don’t you have the ability to realise that if 20,000 sanctioned dolos went on a shoplifting spree, while being serenaded by the fine baritone voice of an unemployed singer, preferably singing something like “Give Peace A Chance” by The Beatles, that it would be a major fucking “incident” and would be catapulted into the realm of “Big Fucking News”. And that questions would have to be asked, serious, soul searching societal questions… Think of The Suffragettes jumping under horses at The Grand National et cetera, et cetera… Do you get the “Bigger Picture” You dull and boring Old Fuck??!!!!

If that was the case it was a pity he didn’t (ban) me for non-selfish reasons then, other than calling him a puppeteer.
Bloggs are where people debate if it is too hot to handle for bloggers or contributors I suggest they get out of the kitchen not ban people.
I stick to my own opinions until someone comes up with something better and to date nobody has.

obd
You will notice the word ban was in brackets and was there for a reason because it was not the case, so you can call it what you want it’s a free country, but I know the truth as does tom pride.
You seem overly concerned about other people’s business on other sites, why don’t you just stick to your own business on the website your on and see if you can get that right once in a while.
Coronation streets Norris has nothing on you.

yet more procrastination’s…he banned you coz you thought that yours was the only voice that counted, and insisted you could do and say what ever you liked, you did it for wks in an argument with another…hmmmm! seems to be a pattern here….

Roger I’ve thought of similar activities for people who are on stupid workfare. After all you would already be doing effectively a community service order (in fact much longer than one). You wouldn’t really have much to loose.
The main problem I would forsee is the organisers (or ringleaders to the establishment) would face the full fury of the state as some sort of anarchist/terrorist and would basically be fucked and slung in jail for a long long time on fuck knows what charges.

Agree with the sentiments Roger about some mass class action-we need more of this.
But please dont see yourself as a member of an ‘underclass’ . Or dont mention ‘underclass’. The term was coined by a right wing sociologist in the Thatcher years to justify and explain a new level of poverty foistered on the Working Class.Quite obviously a ploy to divide the Working class.

If the Liberal Democrats Pretend to be Against Austerity Then the
Liberal Democrats should be Reminded that they Propped Up the
Con Dem Regime as Lobbyfodder in the House of Commons and
what Harm those Nutcase Public Spending Cuts have Done to
People and Public Services in this Country

new deal brought in by labour.
tuition fees brought in by labour.
housing associations took over councils under labour.
bedroom tax drawn up by labour.
New labour that is, who seem to have stolen tory policies and implemented them. They even brainwashed some of old labour too.
The liberals were disgusting in the coalition, voting with the tories for austerity and reneging on tuition fees amongst other things.
I voted for none of them.

He and all the tories are evil incarnate, unhumane creatures everyone of them, time they were brought to heel, don’t shut down Osborne’s shop, smash it to hell, for that is what he’s done to the people and the country!

I tweeted the following 19 hours ago: The British media will refer to it as a Spending Review, but it’s really an announcement of government sanctioned manslaughter because poor and vulnerable people will commit suicide as a result of George Osborne’s vicious budget cuts.https://twishort.com/f41jc

I keep myself alive for the day that these bastards get there come uppance and it’s coming. Next year will be an explosion of anger in England and the English don’t sit about like the peaceful Scots :).

At least we have the buffer of the snp to help us against the bedroom tax. The shit storm is coming I can smell it.

Telling it like it is. Speaking of war – Cameron, Osborne & Co. (and especially IDS) have declared war on the ‘ordinary’ people of Britain. (It really isn’t very ‘United’, is it! And ‘Kingdom’ is so passé – positively mediaeval, like Saudi Arabia – and ‘Daesh’) Cameron & Co. are fanatics. Can we negotiate with fanatics? Can we hell! There’s only one way to deal with fanatics – isn’t there, Mr Cameron! What is it they say? ‘Be careful what you wish for…’!

Pensioners have the most of the Welfare Budget, so let`s sanction the State Pension & sanction everyone on Tax credits. A Saving of £12 Billion which goes with the £12 billion already saved from the welfare reform. That`s £24 billion. All forgot about the savings & spending them instead. Raptd Response Force. Yes that rapid it won`t be in use till 2025. Very rapid.

Stepping – soon, so will China as well! (Including nuclear power stations!)
And as for the 10 years for all of the military hardware etc – well I’ll be damned! And, then on top of it all £12Bn – exactly the same amount that Gidiot wishes to take via the ‘welfare reform’ – fight other countries wars (with our U.S. Allies and arms manufacturing firms) whilst our people are being sanctioned/going to food banks/topping themselves.
What a wonderful ‘democracy’ and pig fuck Camoron is still in love with Saudi Arabia – whose human rights abuses are completely overlooked by this filthy Nazi Tory corrupt scum.

What a ‘Government – a dead pig fucking arrogant & mad Camoron, a deluded crackhead in the form of Gidiot & a mad sociopath/psychopath that is none other than IDS. A Defence minister who doesnt know a bolt action rifle from a french loaf and a Home Secretary who is also a mad neo-Nazi. One could not even make it up!

Looking at a recent pic of Giddsy Osborne…I did think he looked a bit like some drugged junkie. I’m sure we will get the low down some time in the distant future, of how the Chancellor of UK was high as a kite half the time he was making insane policy decisions that lead ppl to their deaths. Which, when you think about it, makes it all the worse for a creep like , IDS, who is just utterly evil. In fact, when you think about it, and we don’t like to think about it, but the entire Regime we have in power just now, are all a bunch of deranged crazed madmen.

Exactly, and that scenario is shown over and over again in the way they treat people when they become UE and are no longer a ‘productive unit’. ‘Send them back to the factory for re-programming’ is their mantra.

Despite all this, a large section of the right-wing working class will vote Conservative in 2020. They don’t care if the NHS is destroyed, and the welfare state. Just as long as a few ‘skivers’ get what’s coming to them.

Jeff – You are right there – this is a continuing and ultimate danger.
Unless something really dramatic occurs, I really fear that we could be in for many more years of these extreme bastards. 20 more years of them and the poor, the working poor and the claimants will all be dead, the middle classes will either be very rich or dead and the rich will become ever richer still. Government MP’s will become some of the richest in the U.K.
The billionairres will be looking down their noses at the millionairres and they will in turn be looking down on the upper middle classes and they, in turn will look down upon everyone else. Another 20 years of Tory ‘rule’ is a terrible outlook which must be stopped at all costs.

‘Hunger is being used as a weapon,’ says veteran director, calling for public rage over situation he says is worse than when he made Cathy Come Home in 1966.

The veteran film-maker rarely speaks while developing a project but is so deeply concerned about government policy on benefits and the sanctions regime that he gave an interview to the Guardian on the set of his latest film.

Loach, 79, is shooting what may be his last film, I, Daniel Blake, based on the writer Paul Laverty’s research of jobcentres, benefit sanctions and food banks. It tells the story of Blake, who has worked for years as a joiner but is then forced to give up work and claim benefits. “The present system is one of conscious cruelty,” Loach said. “It bears down on those least able to bear it. The bureaucratic inefficiency is vindictive and hunger is being used as a weapon. People are being forced to look for work that doesn’t exist.”

Cephalus – True indeed – if only the British people would gather up their guts to do it. Oh, well at least on Wednesday 25th, the Osborne & Little shop in Chelsea looks as though they are going to be picketed – and possibly even worse – especially if Gidiot’s spending review is even more fucking terrible and cruel than expected.

Just been reported on Sky – the estimated cost of replacing Britain’s nuclear deterrent has increased from £25Bn to at least £31Bn, possibly £41Bn – C.N.D. has reported this as new estimate as ‘outrageous’.
If I remember correctly, it was reported a number of weeks ago that they were going to build 4 new Trident submarines at a total cost of £100Bn & possibly up to £200Bn – why the much lower ‘discrepancy’ now I wonder!
Of course, as always, they say that ‘it will create even more jobs’.
What bullshit – they’ll probably pay their American friends to build them and ship them across the Atlantic in 10 years time!
It was also announced earlier that the 2 ‘new’ aircraft carriers are now not likely to be in ‘service’ until at least 2020.

Turkey has just downed a Russian Jet flying over Turkish air space. Also there is a Russian submarine in Scotland which they can`t find. It looks like Britain is going to war with the Russians. Global Recession.

The study of genocide has mainly been focused towards the legal aspect of the term. By formally recognizing the act of genocide as a crime, involves the undergoing prosecution that begins with not only seeing genocide as outrageous past any moral standpoint but also may be a legal liability within international relations. When genocide is looked at in a general aspect it is viewed as the deliberate killing of a certain group. Yet is commonly seen to escape the process of trial and prosecution due to the fact that genocide is more often than not committed by the officials in power of a state or area.

“EUGENICS”

the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)

“CONSERVATISM”

A misguided beleif by those who purport to have wealth or status, that they are, indeed, superior in every way to those that they force into destitution.
Conservatism is a phrase that can be traced back to Nazi Germany and it’s adventure to establish a true Aryan bloodline, (Despite overwhelming evidence that the bloodline was fundamentally, part Jewish and other foreign extraction).
Modern Conservatism has no boundaries, seeking to dispel the myth that we are all created “equal”.
Privilege, pomp and wealth are the basis of integrating Genocide and Eugenics in such a way to bring about change to the “STOCK” (A word frequently used by LORD DAVID ANTHONY FREUD to describe the poor and disabled).
Conservatism has no boundaries and manifests itself in education, employment, healthcare and social mobility, the tenet being that superiority of species should define who should live and who should die.
Of course, this belief defies the logic that to maintain their status it is necessary to encourage a slave element to furnish the trappings of elitism or WORKFARE as it is better known.
Poverty and Disablement are an embarrassment to Conservatives worldwide, they should be eliminated from the picture at all costs, but not by elevating them, simply by killing them, the latter being much more cheaper than the former………………………
.

the deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular nation or ethnic group.
“a campaign of genocide”
synonyms: racial killing, massacre, wholesale slaughter, mass slaughter, wholesale killing, indiscriminate killing;

If jews were the ones that were supposedly wealthy and hoarding money and the reason for the holocaust, surely they would have been part of a conservative party which you think is Nazi – and would not be part of what a Nazi really stood for at the time – this is not a criticism of your description just an observation.

Syrian activists have been quoted as saying that one of the pilots of the Russian Su-24 has been captured. He is said to be being held in the mountainous Utayrah area in Turkmen Mount, Qatar-based Al-Jazeera Arabic TV reports.

Sounds like it is SSRPS that is the one who wants other to sacrifice their life and limbs whilst SSRPS watches the Union Jack-draped coffins containing the bodies of the fallen being off-loaded from a Hercules aeroplane at RAF Brize Norton to be repatriated on their 100 inch flat-screen from the comfort of their living room.

I have a bet with a mate that Gididiot won’t become ConCon Leader due to this fuckup.

However, on the otherhand as we are talking about GidIdiot in someways I want him to become Leader as this example of his stupidity [and there are many more] would ensure the destruction of the ConCons.

……………..Shouldn’t be too long before we see our dead service personnel repatriated with their families in Union Jack draped coffins laid side by side.

The limbless and war torn discretely handed over to MAXIMUS and ATOS to deny that they are injured enough not to work.

Another never ending Chilcott Inquiry bleached of any government involvement in war crimes………..

Meanwhile the fallout of welfare reform, an experiment in social cleansing, is carefully hidden behind tales of terror attacks in far off lands.

One day you will all wake up (that is, those that are still left), to realise that you have been part of a giant hoax that has one intention only, to fill the coffers of the banks and multinationals and hedge fund controllers that pull our government purse strings.

and, no doubt, the Queen, who incidentally lives in the biggest council house in Britain, will be pushed into releasing a new SYRIAN CONFLICT MEDAL.
A shining piece of brass that means absolutely fuck all to the holder other than, a part of your family is dead…………

A simple talisman that means zilch, absolute zero, nil…………

A receipt for giving your life for the sake of a pampered few that deemed your death necessary to protect their own arses.

Westminster is a chamber of cowards that hides behind statute to inflict pain and suffering that is redescribed as collateral damage.

Simon Weston, with all his facial scarring and trauma, was never a hero as the media made him out to be…………..

He was the casualty of Margaret Thatchers ego trip that uses minions to try and boost political standings.

Simon played his part in a fiasco to save an island that was pirated by ourselves many moons ago, the bedrock of colonialism, rich pickings for a greedy monarch.

You don’t get paid for the first two weeks of a sanction so for over a 13 week sanction you are (with “hardship allowance”) surviving on £37.11 a week (£30.40 if you are under 25). A (thirteen week( sanction effectively halves the standard JSA rate.

I am disabled for life and have been made to live on just £33.60p per week for the last two years and four months. But i am not alone, there are many thousands in the same predicament itching to kill those that prescribed it.
The war is far from over, Osborne’s lunacy will be the trigger for what is next to come.

The latest Welfare Cuts are primarily aimed at the faux middle class, stupid Tory voters. You know, the ones who looked down at all you scroungers, screaming for your benefits to be cut, in the guise of demanding we reform the Welfare System. Being so stupid though, they did not realise this would mean an end to their faux middle class benefits. So now we see how disgustingly selfish they are, and how bloated our Welfare Payments became thanks to their greed & Labour’s folly for choosing them over all others. More money is spent on Welfare for the faux middle class than those who are unemployed. I for one wholly disagree with this and would take them all away, but I never realised my beloved Tory Party had been invaded by soppy, wishy washy, Red Lefties. Oh how our poor Dear Maggie must be spinning in her grave.

I am not sure whether to give you a clap, clap or a clip, clip, both sound too good for you, but you are right about the middle classes like Sib and OBD getting most out of the benefits system, or trying to.

irrelevant to your original statement, (even if your 10.05 post makes any sense, which it don’t)…with which you went on to agreed with gordon’s…’Well said mr Wall street, I bet they could teach you a trick or two…’ YOU WON’T GET STATE PENSION AND UBI, ITS ONE OR THE OTHER, NOT BOTH….

Again OBD you are looking at things from your own personal circumstances regarding whether you get pension or UBI which the rich would be entitled to either way.

I don’t think Gordon Gekko was of pensionable age and he is still questioning why people with wealth should get UBI.

Some people are even questioning whether rich pensioners should receive welfare, because welfare is a benefit for those without means of their own to live on even after a lifetime of hard work, due to the inequality of incomes in this country.

NO YOU ACCUSED…ME… OF WANTING TO LINING MY OWN POCKETS… ‘I am not sure whether to give you a clap, clap or a clip, clip, both sound too good for you, but you are right about the middle classes like Sib and OBD getting most out of the benefits system, or trying to.’

lol flyfawkes, it is nothing to do with present-day self-interestOBD and his ilk are only interested in our children and their children’s future, it’s all about ‘future generations’ you see. It is the same trick Cameron and Osborne pull when they talk about ‘our children and their children’s children’, ‘future generations’ … 😉 : “It might hurt present generations but we have to think of our children and their children. We have to consider future generations”.

Indeed many of the faux middle class did Victimise the Poor as Scroungers
and have a Selfish I Am All Right Jack Attitude which is Disgraceful

Poverty Degrades People and Victimisation when in Poverty Hurts More as
Well

The latest Welfare Cuts are primarily aimed at the faux middle class, stupid Tory voters. You know, the ones who looked down at all you scroungers, screaming for your benefits to be cut, in the guise of demanding we reform the Welfare System. Being so stupid though, they did not realise this would mean an end to their faux middle class benefits. So now we see how disgustingly selfish they are, and how bloated our Welfare Payments became thanks to their greed & Labour’s folly for choosing them over all others. More money is spent on Welfare for the faux middle class than those who are unemployed. I for one wholly disagree with this and would take them all away, but I never realised my beloved Tory Party had been invaded by soppy, wishy washy, Red Lefties. Oh how our poor Dear Maggie must be spinning in her grave.

I Must Admit I do Despair the Tories at Times look Monolithic as Well as
Moronlithic Not least in the Slave East of England

Will those Affected by Working Tax Credits Attacks be Goirmless Enough
to Vote Tory again ?

I have a bet with a mate that Gididiot won’t become ConCon Leader due to this fuckup.

However, on the otherhand as we are talking about GidIdiot in someways I want him to become Leader as this example of his stupidity [and there are many more] would ensure the destruction of the ConCons.

‘(We should note that Sen. Graham is a hawk who wants ISIS bombed back to the Stone Age. But even he can see the insane, irrational nature of the action currently being proposed, which would leave Syria a shattered mess but firmly in the hands of a murderous Russian-backed dictator conducting a ruinous, destabilising civil war.)’

I bet Cameron is blessing the day the terrorists hit Paris. He’s going to use this just like Thatcher used the Falklands. Keep the masses minds off the hatchet job happening at home by starting a war. Don’t fall for it folks.

The study of genocide has mainly been focused towards the legal aspect of the term. By formally recognizing the act of genocide as a crime, involves the undergoing prosecution that begins with not only seeing genocide as outrageous past any moral standpoint but also may be a legal liability within international relations. When genocide is looked at in a general aspect it is viewed as the deliberate killing of a certain group. Yet is commonly seen to escape the process of trial and prosecution due to the fact that genocide is more often than not committed by the officials in power of a state or area.

“EUGENICS”

the study of or belief in the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population, especially by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)

“CONSERVATISM”

A misguided beleif by those who purport to have wealth or status, that they are, indeed, superior in every way to those that they force into destitution.
Conservatism is a phrase that can be traced back to Nazi Germany and it’s adventure to establish a true Aryan bloodline, (Despite overwhelming evidence that the bloodline was fundamentally, part Jewish and other foreign extraction).
Modern Conservatism has no boundaries, seeking to dispel the myth that we are all created “equal”.
Privilege, pomp and wealth are the basis of integrating Genocide and Eugenics in such a way to bring about change to the “STOCK” (A word frequently used by LORD DAVID ANTHONY FREUD to describe the poor and disabled).
Conservatism has no boundaries and manifests itself in education, employment, healthcare and social mobility, the tenet being that superiority of species should define who should live and who should die.
Of course, this belief defies the logic that to maintain their status it is necessary to encourage a slave element to furnish the trappings of elitism or WORKFARE as it is better known.
Poverty and Disablement are an embarrassment to Conservatives worldwide, they should be eliminated from the picture at all costs, but not by elevating them, simply by killing them, the latter being much more cheaper than the former………………………

Fit-for-work tests linked to relapses in those with mental health problems

Guardian – 24th Nov 2015

Dr Jed Boardman says work capability assessment causes distress for people with severe problems and has led to relapses

Tougher “fit for work” tests introduced to assess eligibility for disability benefit have caused relapses in patients with serious mental health conditions, according to a consultant with the Royal College of Psychiatrists.

Dr Jed Boardman, a consultant psychiatrist at the South London and Maudsley NHS trust, said the work capability assessment (WCA) discriminates against those with mental health issues and called for an overhaul of the process.

Boardman, who treats patients with serious and long-term mental health problems, told the Guardian: “People with severe long-term problems get very distressed about being assessed, probably because mistakes are made, because the process isn’t perfect, because they don’t feel they are being listened to in their interviews.

“DR JED BOARDMAN WAS AN ADVOCATE OF “WORK IS GOOD FOR PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ISSUES”

……..STRANGE HOW HE CHANGES HIS TUNE AS THE SUICIDES INTENSIFY………

New online resource to help people return to work after mental illness

The Royal College of Psychiatrists has launched a new online resource offering information and guidance about returning to work after a period of mental ill-health.

The Work and Mental Health website is divided into four main parts, and is aimed at workers, carers, employers and clinicians. Each section signposts relevant information and provides useful links to resources from other organisations.

The website explains how work can be good for people’s mental health and well-being – and can play a positive part in people’s recovery. It shows how employers may provide effective support at work for people with a history of mental ill-health, and how clinicians can support people returning to work.

The website has been developed by a multiprofessional working group, including psychiatrists, occupational health clinicians, GPs, nurses, psychologists, HR professionals, and mental health service users.

Dr Jed Boardman, the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ lead for social inclusion, said: “The development of this website has given us a wonderful opportunity to stress the importance of work for people with mental health problems. Work provides more than a wage; it is a significant part of a person’s identity and provides a means of participation in broader society. This new website not only provides a new information resource for people with mental health problems, clinicians and employers, but also stresses the importance of collaboration between these key groups of people and the potential benefits for all.”

BOARDMAN, A MAN WITH TWO HATS NOW THE FINGER OF SUSPICION IS POINTING AT HIM…………..

Many of the psych brigade secretly rubbing their hands with glee, thinking of the epic numbers of clients (money) they’ll be getting because of these destructive policies. How long did it take them to finally make that stance?

Unemployment is high among those with mental disorders, particularly severe mental disorders, and there are a range of social and economic barriers impeding their employment. In general, there is a lack of vocational rehabilitation services in the UK for people with both physical and mental illnesses, despite good evidence for the effectiveness of some work schemes. Here, the need is discussed for a national strategy for vocational rehabilitation that involves employment and health services, and covers both physical and mental disorders.

Work is important both in maintaining mental health and in promoting the recovery of those who have experienced mental health problems. Enabling people to retain or gain employment has a profound effect on many areas of life and the costs of unemployment are high. Employment for individuals with mental illness gives opportunities for them to participate in society as active citizens, and barriers to them doing so are linked to stigma, prejudices and discrimination. Participating in work and employment can be seen as therapeutic endeavours, but also as important indicators of a successful outcome.

Employment opportunities for mentally ill people are an important concern for those working in mental health services, not least because they form part of the rehabilitation and reintegration efforts associated with these services. Secondary mental health services focus on people with severe and enduring mental illnesses, for whom there are limited employment opportunities. However, those with common mental disorders, mainly anxiety and depression, also have employment difficulties and it is recognised that vocational services for these people are lacking.

The so called mentally ill only have employment difficulties when the nosey DWP workers have access to medical records (which should be not only private but correct) and make assumptions and exemptions based on someone who may have had depression due to a birth, which is in no way related to common garden depression, but the phoney ignorant dwp workers would not know this, instead handing out jobs to their phoney younger friends, which they would be welcome to if it was working with them at the DWP.

Until we can rid ourselves of the corrupt callous cronyism that is infecting our public services, we will be fed crap like this from the likes of Dr Bored
man.

I have met people that are saner than Socrates yet are being labelled as mentally ill and I have met others who have no mental health records who are violent mentally unstable morons – I’ve met quite a few on here who stick together for survival.

……………and now, revelations that Britains favourite Conservative sportsman, LORD SEBASTIAN COE has his snout in the trough of lobbying for his official sponsor NIKE…………

Now we will see how far the bent bastard can outrun his accusers…….

IAAF president Lord Coe is facing conflict of interest allegations after emails emerged suggesting he lobbied his predecessor over the hosting of the 2021 World Championships.

Eugene, USA, was given the event without a bidding process, despite interest from the Swedish city of Gothenburg.

A BBC investigation has uncovered emails which claim Coe – an ambassador for sports giant Nike and then vice-president of world athletics – “reached out” to Lamine Diack with his support for Eugene’s bid.

The Oregon city, which lost out to Doha with a 2019 bid, is closely associated with Nike.

Leader of the Gothenburg bid at the time and former head of Interpol, Bjorn Eriksson, told the BBC that the conflict of interest allegations needed “an explanation”.

When asked about the allegations, Coe told the BBC he “did not lobby anyone” over Eugene’s bid, but “encouraged them to re-enter another bidding cycle as they had a strong bid

I remember back in the bad old days of the Cold War that Britain was the hypothermia death capital of Europe. Cold countries like Norway know about effective and efficient heating. When I lived there as a child in the mid 60s the house we lived in was well insulated, triple-glazed and heated entirely by an oil burning stove that ran 24/7 during the winter months, simply heating the house using the rising heat. Even though the outside temperature could get as low as -30 Celsius, I don’t ever remember being cold in that house.

It’s also significant, as you will know ODB that Norway actually gives a damn about it’s own people, and is a far more egalitarian society, with a great deal of consideration given to the standard of life citizens have.

It may well be that the flu vaccine wasn’t as effective as it could have been, but it also begs the question as to whether people’s immune systems weren’t compromised by unecessarily poor levels of nutrition due to state imposed poverty on many people of pensionable age, and poorly heated homes.

lucy,
that’s all we are to them now, 01’s /data…that the income/asset abundant seek to control and squeeze prophet from…
did you see that dreadful prog misnomer…’the truth of CSA’….? yet more behaviourist BS….

I knew what was coming when I saw the listing obd. Hence, I didn’t watch it, my telly won’t stand any more bricks being hurled at it. I heard some offensive promotional cack on R4 Today for it, with John Humphries aggressively questioning a woman who had not only survived abuse, but the oppressive behaviourist shyte she had been given in lieu of proper healing therapy. He asked “WHY did you not even think of telling a teacher?”

There is so little understanding, every important assault is smeared in bland, tabloid, pc innuendo regarding fault and blame. You’d get more sense and compassion out of a rock than you would from the idiots (and SO many experts) who run the media.

The only programme I have ever seen that actually nailed it, was shown in the 90s “Kids In Danger” (cacky title) but made and presented by Roger Cook. Takes a brave programme maker to actually identify the damage caused.

Lucy I don’t need to read phoney links or pronouncements by local or national governments to know that they lie, you obviously believe them because it is in your remit, being proficient in every field going so you think, pity you cannot read between the lines of how local and national governments can change their minds on the turn of a sixpence and expect us to follow.

Tax credit cuts scrapped, Osborne announces
Posted at 12:48
George Osborne says the £4.4bn tax credit cuts will be scrapped altogether. He says he’s listened to the concerns and decided not to press ahead with them. He can do this, he says, because of the “improved” public finances.

REPLIES:
– history of missed targets, ought to know better
– do you really blieve that statistical jiggery pokery and those growth forecasts. Naive beyond belief – or perhaps you are a Tory.
– On the back of a fetid October? So was he just being a bastard for the fun of it?

Today’s tax credit reversal will change nothing in the long run as the cuts will still feature in the new universal credit system, Paul Johnson of the IFS points out. “In the long run he’s saving just as much and politically he’s got through that,” he adds.

NoOppression – They have got to admit defeat at some time – IDS is on the naughty step and he has been for a while now (in PMQ’s) as he is failing abysmally to achieve targets that he knows that are impossible to achieve, as he himself knows that Universal Credit & PIP are years behind schedule and we reckon that he is only allowed to be kept in his position because he knows secrets about this Government that could bring them down.
The Bullingdon Boys at Oxford University – e.g. Boris Johnson, David Cameron & George Osborne, amongst many others that we do not hear about have got a lot to answer for regarding this fucking Government.

It seems that we have been reprieved from the Tax Credits bombshell at the moment – but, by the end of this parliament we may not have been!
Dead Pig fucker David Camoron has got away with it for now (via his Chancellor – George Osborne) – but in the next 2 weeks or so, – he may have his own come uppance and his cover may well have been blown completely!

Tax Credits will be Universal credit. Universal credit will be fast tracked through in spring 2016 where the cuts will apply to UC. The thing that has not changed is the sanctions on Tax Credits & Universal Credits which will pay for the U turn in tax credits.

Apparently they are shafting clients undergoing PIP examinations. They are awarding zero points on thousands of medical reports claiming that people with really severe disabilities are totally fit.
Nothing has changed as far as these jokers are concerned. The only way DUNKO THE CLOWN and his arsewipe stormtroopers can claim the economy is on course is to steal the funds from those ill prepared to fight back.
EVERYBODY SHOULD DEMAND THAT THEIR MEDICAL IS RECORDED, NO RECORDING NO FUCKING MEDICAL simple as that!

Their latest con is to tell the claimant that the equipment has failed to record at the end of the examination. This is evidence that they are frightened of the backlash if they are sued in court.

How low can a country really get?

Stealing the meagre crumbs afforded to one to help balance the disproportionate burden of having a disability.

Can you remember a while back that prominent judicial figures were on a list called “Home Visit”, the latest updated document contains home addresses and family members of Health Care Professionals.

The government think they are so clever, as do the minions they attract to inflict the pain.

Imagine a knock at the door to be faced with somebody you have fucked over in the past.

A human memory is a fantastic piece of kit that rewards itself when the grievance is finally settled

The Army are now called the police – The police budget goes down & the Army budget replaces the police budget. 10,000 British Troops need paying because the police are trouble makers. Thank you George.
